Allotments Project

We are collaborating, on Andrew MacKenzie's persuasive abilities, with a team at Leicester University called Allotment Data. Their website is here First task is ensuring that West Midlands data is as complete as we can get it. This will allow an interactive tool to be built using an OSM-based map accessing other data such as waiting times

Sources

Currently we are working our way through the web site information from the local authorities in the West Midlands to get basic information entered such as name, number of plots, facilities and anything else the authority lists ( they're not all consistent with each other). List of urls:

Notes from a local, @DaveHarte = "those private allotments are on the ward open spaces plan. Found two called Fox Hill, Woodlands - on ward plan the plots here: http://ht.ly/7ZDst are called 'Woodlands Private Allotments'. On openstreetmap: 'Hay Green'" |

Birmingham

Witton

Where is the private allotment site, connected (legally if not physically) to the Barn Social Club in Brookvale Road, Witton (map). What we have as Oldford Farm Allotments lie adjacent, but I don't think that's the same thing, unless the site is divided?

The site you have indicated on OSM as 'Oldford' are the private allotments owned by Witton and District Allotments ltd. They own all that site as I understand it (they aren't called 'Oldford' or anything at all on the Ward Open Space plan). I understand that Oldford allotments are the ones identified as 'Holford' on Open Street Map
